BINGO.

This is going to get better as it breathes. I'm drinking an 11 PVW15 right now, and it's good. Think of it as a 107 proof 05 or 08 WLW, and I think you'll like it more. Considering what 15 years run, and especially VWs, if you can get it for 60 it's worth it.

I have yet to try this. I'll definitely have to hunt some up.

That said, I've been going thru a spring 2011 release Pappy 15 opened in May 2011 that has been disappointing me thru Dec. 2011. While it's only 1 bottle, it's quite apart from many other Pappy 15s I've had. If I would take a stab it seems more like old Bernheim wheater to me.
